The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof, was
a
boil
Or hot ulcer, by which, says Maimonides F14 you
may understand any stroke by a stone, stick, or iron, or any
other thing: and in the Misnah F15, it is asked, what is an
ulcer (or boil)? a stroke by wood, stone, pitch, or hot water;
all that is from the force of fire is an ulcer: and is
healed;
by the use of medicine, and the part, in all appearance, as well
and as sound as ever.
F14 In Misn. Negaim, c. 6. sect. 8.
F15 Ib. c. 9. sect. 1.
